Spanish authorities have scheduled a trial for Real Madrid centre‑back Raúl Asensio and three former academy players over the alleged distribution of a sexual video involving a minor. A judge in Las Palmas rejected defence motions to dismiss the case and upheld the seizure of evidence from the defendants’ phones. The oral hearings are set for 3–7 September 2026 before the 3rd Court of San Bartolomé de Tirajana in the Canary Islands. Prosecutors are seeking a two‑and‑a‑half‑year prison term for Asensio and longer sentences for the co‑defendants. Although the victims have expressed willingness to forgive Asensio, Spanish law requires a formal declaration in court for any pardon to affect sentencing, so the trial will proceed.
